Whew!
Got up today and done some housework before leaving to go to Springfield with Granny and Madge. Naomi went along as I had told her that she would get to visit her Papa in the hospital. Timothy and Josiah stayed at home so that Timothy could go to town with his dad Tim to get some parts for his truck.
We arrived at the hospital and learned that Papa was still in CCU. I knew that meant that Naomi was probably not going get to see him and I sure did not want to break that news to her. As I was visiting with Papa the nurse came in and I asked her if his great grandaughter could come into see him. She said no and about that time Papa looked up at her and I thought he was going to say something. Before he could say anything the nurse changed her mind and said that she could come in as long as she was quite and I had to hold her and she could only stay a few moments. I left to get her and as I came back in Papa said “there’s my girl” and Naomi smiled as she said “hi” We sat there for a few moments and Papa talked to her telling her that he liked her new boots and how that he was doing good. Naomi seem comforted and more at ease by seeing him in such good spirits. Her visit was short and as we left she told him “bye” and blew him a big kiss. The smile that came across Papa’s face was priceless.
We left the hospital and met up with Larry, Margaret, Kelly, Randy, Terry, Trey, Rachelle, Jonathon and Caitlyn at a packed out Chick-fil-a. We had a wonderful time visiting and watching the kids play in the play area. Madge, Naomi and I left there to go to the mall. Naomi had her photo done at the Picture People last Tuesday but the machine was broke so instead of getting the photos back in a hour I had wait several days. As usual the photos were gorgeous! Naomi is very photogenic and takes beautiful pictures. After waiting for quite some time we headed down to another photo place. We made our appointment and then went to look for another shirt for Naomi. Now let me tell you something Naomi loves to shop and she is very opionated on things. She loves clothes and I think she loves shoes even more! After being in the store for what seemed forever we finally settled on a blue spaghetti strap shirt, a reversible hat, a bracelet and some super cute glittery sunglasses. She looked like a little girl that stepped out of a catologe! We had her photo done and she posed herself through some of the photos! Once we were finished we headed to Payless because I needed some shoes. We finally got out of the mall and back over to the hospital to pick up Granny. On the way home we stopped at Walmart to pick up some last minute goodies for Easter. Now hear I sit at mom and dads (my mother-in-law and father-in-law actually) and the children have finished doing their easter egg decorating and they are waiting for the Jello to settle so that they can do their jigglers. Mom has been finishing up my dress that she made me for Easter and she done a wonderful job!
Until next time……….
